Nice old dx there! Great Find! I found one leaning against a barn just down the road for me but, can't ever catch anyone home to ask about it. :roll: I keep cash in my pocket just in case someone's car is in the drive. :lol:

 

[scott brownsey]

i think its a 1952

 

[Rustinkerer]

If it has the welded on kickstand, it's postwar.

 

[el_espanto]

thanks for the replys so far.
@Rustinkerer , yes it does have a welded kickstand, post war meaning what
that its 1945-47?

@scott brownsey, how do u know its a 52?
i saw somewhere that the ACE badge my bike has came on 1930s - 1940s schwinns

It is confusing! And you're right, a '52 frame should have the number on the dropout. So your bike, with the forward facing dropouts, and welded on kickstand is likely from 46-48, also the first post-fire serials recorded start with D, in August 48, so it's possible yours is summer of 48. I don't think there was any bikes made besides wartime models thru 1945. -Adam

I did just that today! Thanks. Hope they call. I plan to drive out once or twice a week by their house and keep checking. It's one of those, " our barn looks cool with an old bike leaning against it" deals. They are not collectors or do they even know what they have. Just an old bike/decoration to them. I bet I can score it eventually. :mrgreen:

[el_espanto]

kind of a terrible picture, but heres the badge

I guess ill go with rustinkeeper, and say its a 46-48

will post more pics with fenders and when i remove that retarded basket
and add some kooler tires

 

[el_espanto]

just an update,
What a difference removing the nerdy basket, adding fender, and lowering the seat makes
still more changes comming, need peedles for one

trying out some brick tires, i think ill go for it, opinions?

 

[dogdart]

maybe some all white bricks ?

 

[el_espanto]

a few changes, murdered out the rims,added the bricks, and a double headlight
put some dyno glide pedals for now

 

[el_espanto]

maybe some all white bricks ?

yeah i might consider that as well

 

[el_espanto]
